Default Temperate Reef Tank

Hi all!! This is my first post so if I ask any stupid questions, please be gentle. I have had several aquariums, all fresh water and I am making plans to take the plunge (Well at least up to me elbow into a cold water reef tank. I do a bit of diving and like the idea of collecting local specimens to create a true Pacific Northwest reef tank.

I guess I'm just seeking advice from anybody out there that has already tested the waters and has a successful temperate tank up and swimming.

Here come the questions:

1) Anybody have a good local source for acrylic? I'm considering making my own tank and sump/refugium.

2) If making my own tank doesn't work out, is there a local source for acrylic tanks?

3) Chiller recommendations anyone? I'm looking to cool about 75gal. to about 60f.

I'll limit my questions to these for now.

P.S. Hi Christy. Yes, it is me. Ian
